Q3 revenue clears consensus

Yahoo Finance reported on September 25, 2026 that Synopsys generated USD 2.48 billion in third-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue, up 42.40 percent from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EPS reached USD 3.91 versus USD 3.67 consensus, a USD 0.24 beat.

The same report said Synopsys lifted fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to USD 9.69-9.74 billion and adjusted EPS guidance to USD 15.04-15.10. Non-GAAP operating margin guidance moved to 41.50 percent at the midpoint, giving investors a measurable test for the Ansys integration and cost-synergy plan.

AI tools widen the growth story

On September 28, 2026, Synopsys highlighted its AgentEngineer solutions and Autopilot platform for autonomous engineering workflows. The launch connects AI-assisted productivity with the company business of selling electronic design automation tools and semiconductor intellectual property.

That strategy also has a concrete ecosystem anchor. In a September 23, 2026 release, Synopsys said its work with TSMC covers A14 design enablement, agentic AI workflows, CoWoS multi-die designs and expanded 2-nanometer IP support.

Analysts raise targets as risks persist

MarketScreener lists Wells Fargo upgrading Synopsys to Overweight from Equalweight on September 10, 2026 and raising its price target to USD 475 from USD 450. The change gives the stock a clear analyst comparison even as the euro quote remains below its prior close base only by reference to the current session move.

MarketBeat reported on September 25, 2026 that 13 of 18 covered brokerages rated the stock Buy, with five Holds and an average target of USD 561.00. The outlet also identified high valuation and competition from Cadence as counterweights to the AI opportunity.
